[Rhodes22-list] Spring Lines

[Peter Nyberg]

I bought the same cleats recently.  Roger’s image shows West Marine selling them for $140 each.  Defender lists them for $108 each (item # 614226).

As any tension is shearing against the mounting screws for the track, I drilled and tapped 1-1/2”x1/4x20’s into the toerail. These were installed when the boat was new 23 years ago, and there has been extreme pressure fairly constantly from April through November storms, up to 4’ rolling waves with heavy tidal swings all through my time in less safe slips. So they are stress tested.
